Looking for entries and copying to a cell
If cell value in B2 is shown anywhere in column A, how can I show that cell value in C2?
I have got as far as having the following in cell C2 =IF((B2=A2),B2) which works but only if the cell being looked for is in A2. When I try to extend the look up to the whole of column A (say A2:A100) so that can look in anywhere within that column, it no longer works. Not sure if the is an "If", "lookup" or some other function - thanks. |

One way
In C2: =IF(COUNTIF(A:A,B2),B2,"") Copy down -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Budask" wrote: If cell value in B2 is shown anywhere in column A, how can I show that cell value in C2?
